20s Neck Tie Men's Vintage 1920s Plaid Maroon 1923 Langsdorf Patent VFG
This is a fabulous necktie with a venerable history, dating to the 1920s, with a fairly rare patent date on the tag from 1923! Most neckties of this era are silk but there is nowhere to snip for a fiber burn test to confirm. The fabric is a heavy faille weave with a silky surface. The diagonal plaid is woven in, using a silvery gray plus two shades of maroon, the lighter maroon done in a satin jacquard weave atop the faille.

CONDITION: Subtle discoloration where the knot would be tied and a tiny hard-to-see yellowing near the tip - see closeups.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
